It’s strange to even debate whether politics have a place at film festivals, especially considering Berlin’s long history as the most politically engaged of the major international events. This year’s festival reinforced that reputation: the top prize, the Golden Bear, went to İlker Çatak’s Yellow Letters, a film about a couple whose lives are disrupted by the Turkish government due to their beliefs. The second highest award, the Grand Jury Prize, was given to Emin Alper’s Salvation, a drama exploring the escalating violence and mistrust between two Kurdish families.

Once Sophie was taken to jail, she had a surprisingly honest conversation with one of the guards. He didn’t exactly offer comfort, but he was straightforward: no one would believe her friend’s defense, and a particular woman seemed determined to ruin her life. He advised her to accept her situation and prepare for a long stay. Sophie is now completely alone, and her only visitor, Araminta, isn’t offering support – she’s demanding a confession. Araminta’s real motive is to protect a marriage proposal and cover everything up. To make matters worse, no one even knows where Sophie is being held! If we hadn’t previously arranged for Varley to leave the Featherington household and join Lady Penwood, Varley would still be in jail.

The improv group used in this operation features mostly lesser-known actors to avoid detection by the target.

Last Sunday’s episode, the second-to-last of the season, showed Whitney desperately trying – and failing – to find a way out of his situation. He attempted to escape, but his colleagues threatened him. His plan to buy another company to mislead investigators also fell through, even though he gave a passionate speech trying to convince everyone it would work. Meanwhile, his business partner, Henry Muck (played by Kit Harrington), despises him, and Henry’s wife, Yasmin (Marissa Abela), is secretly working to destroy the company from within. Actor Max Minghella, known for his roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and The Social Network, portrays Whitney as completely stunned – he can’t accept that his good fortune has ended, because he’d never considered it luck in the first place. Minghella enjoyed playing Whitney at his lowest point, finding it surprisingly relatable. “I’m much closer to that vulnerable side of Whitney as a person,” he explains, “and it was easy for me to tap into those feelings.”
